Thousands of Maine Democrats signed petitions to place our nonpartisan citizen initiative for Ranked Choice Voting on the November 2016 ballot. Learn more about Democratic support for Ranked Choice Voting here and consider endorsing our initiative today!

"Maine has been a national leader in protecting and advancing cutting edge reforms to strengthen our democracy like clean elections and same-day voter registration​. Together, we can ​advance that tradition and make history this November by enacting the citizen initiative for Ranked Choice Voting to empower voters and restore majority rule." - Shenna Bellows, 2014 U.S. Senate Nominee (Manchester)

"I support Ranked Choice Voting because it gives Mainers a stronger voice in choosing their elected leaders and it ensures that voters get what they want on Election Day. By giving voters the power to rank candidates, Ranked Choice Voting encourages candidates to reach beyond their bases and appeal more broadly for support, thus making politicians more accountable to Mainers and less accountable to powerful political interests." - Chellie Pingree, U.S. Representative, First District (North Haven)
